He went to University of michigan and was taughted when he was a freshman as being the next great corner to come out of college. He then spent half of his career as a corner and half as a safety. He has good skills but never really lived up to the hype. I like him though and think he will be a good player in the NFL. He wants to play corner because of the bigger money but if we got him I would prefer to see him as the FS. He would be a good cover safety. I am not sure this is the guy I want in the first but this is my two cents on him.

yeah i like Jackson too, he never really seemed to reach the level everyone thought he would when he first came to Michigan, but is still a very solid player, whether it be at FS or CB. If we end up trading out of the first for a higher pick in the 2nd, he would definitely be one of the players i hope we might target.

didnt like his answer to the question fame or fortune, and he picked fortune though
probably values money very highly and will bargain hard for money, whereas there are players who say they play the game because they want to be a great player for the franchise, to go into the HOF etc
